And I am done with the quote! Yet feet that wandering have gone/ Turn at last to home afar. This might be my favourite two verses in my favourite Tolkien poem and I’m so happy to have it embroidered on my pocket.
The letters are a bit wonky but this is a surprisingly hard to draw on fabric and I took a lot of pain meds this week so… yeah, I didn’t have the surest hand.
Also, listening on repeat at the song while I embroidered gave me other ideas for the top portion of the pocket. I think I’ll make a paved road surrounded by flowers, maybe little footprints, linking the Smial to the the outline of a mountain in the background. Also, there will be flowers and a few paved steps in front of the door.

I’m very bad at social media but on the other hand I keep complaining that nobody cares about my creations and it’s like a vicious circle and I don’t know what to do with it.
Also, I have been experiencing a kind of a Tolkien burnout recently, and I feel particularly bad about it.
So, anyway… have my latest passion project - Autumn court waistcoat inspired by ACOTAR series. Maybe it will be a full Eris Vanserra cosplay although I don’t particularly love the series.
I have copied the pattern from 1760s waistcoat and I got inspired in the Napoleonic uniforms for the embroidery.
The waistcoat is made from synthetic silk brocade, embroidered with metal (I love the gold work and the oak leaves make me feel very heroic and empowered, lol).
The shirt is a classical 1700s shirt and my first attempt at historical sewing.
Is anyone interested in these irregular screams into the void?

Slow progress on my pocket.
I started work again on Tuesday and was just too knocked out by the heatwave before that to do much embroidery but the bottom part of the pocket is now officially DONE!
